School Dismissal and Mental Health Statement

We are all experiencing an
unprecedented situation for public school and our entire community. When faced with unique situations like this,
many of our children will experience some anxiety and fear. This reaction is normal.

Because your children will
not be attending school until, at least, May 4th, it is important to
talk to them and give them explanations of why this is happening. These
conversations need to be customized to the age of your child, so please
consider the age ranges of your own children and maybe speak to them
separately.

Below are some things to
consider:

Be calm in front of your children.

Your emotions
will guide theirs.

Do not share your
fears with your children, but do not overly minimize the seriousness of the
situation.

Tell them that if they happen to get the virus, they
are likely to experience symptoms like the cold or flu.

The school dismissal is to prevent the spread
of this illness and for the health of them and our community.

It is not because
they have been exposed or are necessarily at high risk of exposure.

The school dismissal is temporary, and they will
return to school when the risk of spreading the virus has been reduced.

Find ways to
meaningfully fill their time during school dismissal.

Support them in
completing the activities and assignments provided by their teachers.

While screen time is
not all bad, it should be allowed in moderation.

Unless they have been
put in isolation or quarantine, encourage them to go outside and be active
(maintaining social distance and other precautions).

Encourage other
appropriate activities that will stimulate and occupy them.

Limit access to media
reports, especially for younger children who may not fully understand what is
being reported.

If your child is experiencing an unusual amount of anxiety or distress,
please reassure them and access the family and community supports that are
available. Also, school psychologists,
school social workers, and school counselors will be working throughout the
school dismissal period and will able to consult by phone. Contact your school’s main office to access
them.

Student Dismissal Extended Through May 1

Gov. Gary R. Herbert and State Superintendent Syd Dickson announced Monday, March 23 that Utah’s K-12 public schools will extend their dismissal through Friday, May 1.

State officials and health departments will continue to evaluate the situation and make determinations as time goes on regarding the remainder of the school year after May 1.

“These are unprecedented times in Utah’s and our nation’s history,” the governor said, “I have been overwhelmed with Utahns’ outpouring of support for one another, and nowhere has this been more evident than in the way our educators are supporting Utah students and families.”

Distance learning and meal services will continue through the extended dismissal.

“During the uncertainties of the coming weeks, it is more important than ever to remain socially connected with our students and families while doing our best to ensure learning continues.” said superintendent Dickson. “The flexibility and initiative of our educators is a shining example of how we rise together in challenging circumstances.”
